nope that's an offensive fighting tank; my puzzle is a single pupose vehicle with defensive purposes...seriously related to 'big bang theory'??!

Ostfriese · 09-22-23, 12:22 AM

If that's about the TV-series: never watched it.

I'm at a loss here. The "ä" you want limits it to very few languages, German, Finnish and Swedish alongside a few post-soviet nations in Central Asia.

I've found nothing that fits all of your requirements.

Aktungbby · 09-22-23, 12:48 AM

all right I'll throw you a bone since you're the only one left.

It's German, not on treads and doesn't have a main gun...and has a single specific defensive purpose...seriously related to 'big bang theory'; but not related to the tv show in any way.

I'd mention how many wheels it has; but that would give away the puzzle. Its crew consisted of a driver and a commander.

Hmm, if I'm right here you are to be commended for having dug very deeply:

Alkett Minenräumer? A 100+ metric ton tricycle, of which only one prototype was ever built?

Aktungbby · 09-22-23, 02:02 AM

thats it! The NK-101 minenräumer.

Too slow and susceptible to artillary it was found abandoned in russia and is in a museum there to this day. The 10 plates circumfrensing its 3 tricycle wheels, two front, one rear each would explode mines as the bottom three plates briefly formed to absorb the mine's explosive force. Over to birthday boy, Ostfriese-thanks for your persistence!

Quote:

Each wheel was equipped with steel "feet" fixed in a floating position so that three of them leaned on the ground in any position of the wheel - in order to create the maximum area of contact with the ground, which was better to dissipate the blast wave from mines triggered by the weight of the machine . An additional advantage was the reduction of the trawler's pressure on the ground, because it had a weight of 50 tons. Theoretically, she could withstand the explosion of any mine.

I only knew this thing as "Minenroller" (without the umlaut) and very little beyond that. Quite a unique thing you found there.

I will prepare something within the next couple of hours.

Ostfriese · 09-22-23, 08:12 AM

Right, something quick and easy:

What's this a part of?

Eichhörnchen · 09-22-23, 11:33 AM

Something from Tutankhamun's tomb?

People usually associate it with a certain type of drink, but it has nothing to do with that drink (or any other drink or food item) by itself.

Something to do with the Oktoberfest, or Bavaria?

A lot with Bavaria, but not restricted just to the Oktoberfest (but you can't have Oktoberfest without it). Catfish seems to be on to something

Aktungbby · 09-23-23, 09:30 AM

anything to do with beer?
